It won’t be long before The Crossing “crosses over” to the television afterlife. The TV show was one of the many cancelled TV shows of the 2017-18 season but clearly, this series has some devoted fans. Why won’t there be a second season?
An ABC sci-fi thriller, The Crossing stars Steve Zahn, Natalie Martinez, Sandrine Holt, Georgina Haig, Tommy Bastow, Rob Campbell, Rick Gomez, Marcuis W. Harris, Grant Harvey, Jay Karnes, Simone Kessell, Kelley Missal, Luc Roderique, and Bailey Skodje. Luke Camilleri recurs. The story unfolds in the small Oregon fishing town of Port Canaan. Tranquility there comes to an abrupt end, when 47 evacuees from a war-torn country wash up on the shore. The newcomers aren’t just any refugees seeking asylum — they’re Americans from 180 years in the future. As the hunt for the truth grows, it will change the lives of the townies and their new guests, forever.
The show got off to lackluster start in the ratings. The premiere of The Crossing drew a meager 0.94 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 5.40 million viewers. The second and third episodes saw significant declines and later episodes dropped as well. Last week’s installment attracted a meager 0.40 demo rating with 2.53 million.
With ratings like these, it’s easy to see why ABC decided to cancel The Crossing. It’s also no surprise that the network decided to air the final two episodes on a Saturday night.
Could the show have picked up more viewers if it had been given more time? Considering the downward trajectory of the ratings, it’s hard to make that argument. For whatever reason, The Crossing just didn’t resonate with a broad audience.
What do you think? Did you like The Crossing TV show? Would you have watched a second season of this ABC series?
I liked the show Crossing. I watched it faithfully. Please have a season 2.
Is it true that freeform channel might be picking up season two of the crossing?? I hope so it was a great show good characters and a great plot line..
This is an awesome show! Someone PLEASE pick it up! Can’t you see the outcry?
I don’t understand why you would cancel The Crissing! It’s an amazing show! It’s not too ambitious like some people have categorized it. It’s right with our times. It has great characters build up and now we need to really get into the story with Season 2 and now what … ABC is just going to leave us high and dry … again … Good strategy ABC … that really makes me want to watch your other shows … for sure …
There must be a season two!! Please it’s an amazing series how can you guys not make a season two.
Please renew or hopefully another network will pick up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Loved it. Why cancel the awesome?
I am very disappointed that there won’t be another season or more of “the crossing” my husband and I just finished watching this show on Hulu and we absolutely loved this show and would love to watch more seasons of this!!! Please bring this back! I don’t think you really gave it chance for more viewers to watch!
Both my husband and I really enjoyed The Crossing. I loved it and was shocked when we found out it was cancelled. To add insult to injury the final two episodes appeared unannounced on a Saturday night. We stumbled across them by accident. We pvr’d them and I rewatched the last one several times…please bring it back!!!
I absolutely love the show! I just binged watched the whole season and am extremely disappointed that there won’t be a season 2. Please bring it back it was great!
I just finished binge-watching the Crossing. I didn’t watch it week by week but I fell in love with the show And wished it would be a season 2. This is one of those shows where it could be a great Hulu or Netflix show where you can watch the whole season.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!! Please bring it back. Shows like this need more exposure to build an audience…it’s one f those great suspenseful and intriguing gems. The characters are just beginning to blossom and the plot lines are still developing and unfolding. With more time and “hype” I truly believe this could draw a huge engaged audience. Having been a fan of Lost, I can see how the writers are laying the groundwork for so many interesting story lines. You need to keep it and give it a chance…don’t throw it all away, it’s getting good!!!
Why do networks always do this? They don’t give new shows a chance, like changing a time slot or showing reruns during the season. I’m so sick and tired of reality shows. The Crossing was good and now it’s gone. There’s a lot of crap on TV right now but that gets to stay.
My husband and I loved The Crossing and we both just assumed there would be a Season 2. I just read that is has been canceled and am really disappointed. Maybe a little advertising for the show would be helpful. I never saw anything for it and came upon it by accident while browsing through HULU shows. Please reconsider.
I watched The Crossing on Hulu. PLEASE produce Season Two. I absolutely loved the show!!!!!!
